Obesity is a potent co-morbid risk factor for mortality and morbidity, if it remains untreated. It emerges as an important health problem in India.

Thus, it helps to break the pathogenesis of the disease. Considering the above facts case study was planned to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of Madhutailik Basti with Lekhana Basti in the management of Sthaulya (obesity) in 60 clinically diagnosed and confirmed cases of Sthaulya from OPD of Ch.

In Ayurveda, Sthoulya (Obesity) is regarded as Medoroga, a disorder of Meda Dhatu, which includes fat tissue and fat metabolism. According to Ayurveda; Sthoulya begins with an imbalance of Doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha), Agni (digestive fire), Malas (waste products) or an imbalance of Srotas (microcirculatory channels). This collection of imbalances then interferes with the formation of tissues or Dhatus and leads to a tissue imbalance that we experience as excess weight.
